Why this topic matters
Most professionals use AI to write text. Builders use agentic AI to ship software.
In this 90-minute session, you will watch a working application go from a single brief to a deployed preview URL - live. No slides. No theory. Just the agentic engineering workflow that separates prompt-writers from product builders in 2026.
This is a preview of the Product Builder: Claude Code Foundations course.
